Hoi An vs Da Nang ( Which One Should You Visit? )

Hoi An vs Da Nang — which one should you visit on your trip to Vietnam? In this video I explore both cities to see how Old Vietnam compares to New Vietnam. Hoi An is home to a UNESCO-listed Old Town, centuries of trading history, tailor shops, and the famous lantern-lit streets by the river. Da Nang is the complete opposite — modern skylines, five-star beach resorts, and a growing digital nomad community, earning it the nickname "the Miami of Southeast Asia." I visit the Old Town in Hoi An, catch the lanterns after sunset, then head to Da Nang to check out the beaches, Monkey Mountain, and the massive Lady Buddha statue at Linh Ung Pagoda. So which city is better for your trip — Hoi An or Da Nang? Watch till the end to find out which one I'd recommend for a short visit, which one is better if you want to live and work online in Vietnam, and why you should try to visit both if you have the time.
